Well, I finally sold my Kolb.  The Ultrastar was a lot of fun over the past six years, but it's time to move on... it's a great plane but I was starting to bump into its limitations.  My new (to me) plane, a Fisher FP-404 biplane which I picked up today, is about 15 mph faster, not much, but the 4-stroke engine means half the fuel consumption and thus double the range... which expands my horizons quite a bit.  Of course now I'll be paying hangar rent instead of the outdoor tiedown rate for the Kolb in its trailer, and I lose the freedom of a Part 103 ultralight, but I gain in other areas.  So it's all good.  Gotta thank everybody here for all the good advice over the past 6 years.

Haven't flown it yet, it hasn't flown in about 10 years.  Gotta fix a few minor things and then get it annualed first.
